Bitcoin’s true growth hinges on real-world adoption rather than ETFs, which turn it into a speculative asset. By integrating Bitcoin into everyday transactions—like grocery shopping—its utility can drive broader acceptance. Despite ETFs providing a financial interface, the focus must shift to practical applications and usability in day-to-day life.
Bitcoin, recognised as the first decentralised digital currency, has significantly transformed since its inception over a decade ago. Its value has soared dramatically, evolving into a narrative often described as digital gold. While the rise of Bitcoin exchange-traded funds (ETFs) has captured investor interest, it is proposed that Bitcoin requires real-world integration, particularly through grocery stores, rather than reliance on financial products.
